pumpkin is tie biggest, and all help themselves to leather 

 medals. Ella gained four miles lead over the met, which is 

 the one Baving incident that makes the match worth recording.

BbawahhAKA Yacht Club.— In obedience to the circular 

 issued by order of the Vice-Commodore, the yachts of this 

 fleet proposing to join the annual cruise collected in Glen 

 Gove harbor, July 8, Vice-Corn. O. E. Cromwell in charge. 

 The fleet was not a large one, but many vessels will join at 

 the various ports along the Sound. The fleet sailed for Oyster 

 Bay, thence to Black Rock, and possibly Thimble Island, 

 New London, Shelter Island, Stonington, Newport and New 

 Bedford will be taken in on the way. Corinthian rules are 

 enforced, sails being restricted to working sails and spinnaker, 

 and owners must steer their own yuchts as far as possible. 



SouthWaek Yacht Club. — The June regatta of this club 

 was sailed on the 23d ult., but for want of wind was not very 

 interesting. According to the rules of the club, the champion 

 flags won by the three classes of boats at the annual regatta 

 must be won twice again during the season to entitle the win- 

 ners to permanent possession. In addition to the flags a sum 

 of money was subscribed by each boat, which was to go along 

 with the flags to the successful boats. The following bouts 

 were entered and tried to sail over I he course— from Dicker - 

 Bon street wharf to Chester Buoy : First, class double-enders— 

 Maid, Mitchell, Young and Emma JJragam. Second class 

 double-enders -More/an, Emma, Cutter, JIagan and George. 

 Tuckups— Boyle, Douglass, Chris. Kleinz, Sparks, Wade, 

 Gradwell, Lenoir and Campbell. It was a drift all the way 

 down, with Boyle leading near the turn, followed by Douglass, 

 Mitchell, Campbell and Maid, while Cutter led in the second 

 class. Finally, the race, was abandoned, as there was no pros- 

 pect of reaching the lower mark, four miles below Lodge's 

 Point, with the flood tide turned against them. A number of 

 yachts under command of Com. Harper, of the South Cam- 

 den Y. O., visited Trenton, N. J., July 4, a very enjo3'able 

 cruise being the result. 



Southern Yaout Club.— Tbo matches, July 4, off Bilox, 

 under the auspices of the S. Y. C , were sailed successfully 

 in a stiff breeze from S. W. Course, a triangular one, sail 

 twice over, distance, 9 miles. At It© p. m. a start from an 

 anchor was effected, and all went, away with a free sheet 

 along the shore side of the course, and then beat up the sec- 

 ond side and came back to the start, wuh a leading wind. 

 First round finished as follows: First class, Cydmus, 2b. 

 34m.-, Pluck and Luck, 2h. 34m. 59s. Second class, Xiphiux. 

 2b.. 38m.; Phantom-, 2h, 28m. 43s.; Puck, 2b. 44m'. 85s. 

 Third class, Maggie, 2h. 41m. 5s ; Gypsey, 2h. 4lm. 23s.; 

 Juauita, 2b. 43m. 26s.; Cromwell, 2h. 44m. 44s.; Mary A., 

 2h. 46m. 35s. Fourth class, Olivia, 2h. 45m. 5s.; Claire F., 

 2h. 45m. 40s. The latter two fouled in rounding, but no pro- 

 test was lodged. During the second round Pluck and Luck 

 hauled up on Cydmus a liule, and Cromwell gave up, her 

 shrouds carrying away. After some sharp manceuvering on 

 the part of Cydmns at the last mark the finish was made as

BnirFAi.o YACHT G'lttb.— Buffalo, July 7.— Editor Fared 

 and Sti'eam: Some time ago a committee waited on [lie 

 Fourthof July Committee of Buffalo City and asked for a 

 sum of money to defray any expense that our 'club might go 

 to, such as buying prizes, etc., but they kept putting us off 

 until finally they dropped us out of the day altogether, when, 



had they made an appropriation of even a small amount, we 

 would have U'eated Buffalonians to the grandest sight thev 

 ever saw, as our yachts were all ready but two, and the wind 

 from the north was jnBt fresh enough for an exciting regatta, 

 but we were not going to display ourselves after the appro- 

 priation was non est, and we all agreed to go where we wished. 

 The night of the 2d of July the new schooner yacht Petrel 

 was completely stripped of all ber sails and rigging by river 

 thieves or pirates, loss $135, but we have offered a reward 

 for the arrest, and conviction of the thieves, and think that we 

 will overhaul them. This yacht was going to Bay View, on 

 Lake Erie, on the Fourth, but the loss of her sails prevented 

 her. The yachts Teleplwne, Mystic and irroio weut up the lake 

 on a short cruise, and the schooner Corsair look a party down 

 the river to Sheerwater, a beautiful spot some 8 miles this side 

 of the Falls. The schooner Fleelming left Buffalo at 7 p. m., 

 July 3, for Point Abino, Canada, distance 12 miles. We ar- 

 rived there at 11 r. M., turned in, and at 4 a. M. cast off and 

 started for Erie, Pa., distance 75 miles from the Point, and 

 we made the run in 10f hours. We went across the lake 

 wing and wing, and it was a most charming sail. Met wilh 

 quite an ovation at Erie, and from the looks of the docks we 

 judged that the whole town had turned out to receive us. 

 The leading boat clubs gave us a dinner, and we passed the 

 lime very pleasantly. Left there at 8 p. m. Saturday, and ar- 

 rived home last night at 11 p. M., a long trip down, but we 

 had head winds to contend with, and besides, we were be- 

 calmed for 3 hours about 5 miles from Buffalo. The new 

 sloop yacht Cygnet wbb launched last week, and they are now 

 hard at work finishing her up, and when she is ready for sea 

 I think she will take the rag off of everything around here. 

 The sloop Kittle has been raised, but looks worn out, al- 

 though with a thorough overhauling she will yet make a 

 good boat. Pennant. 



Marblehead Regatta. — The open matches under the 

 auspices of the Murblehead Yacht Club, forming the sixth 

 annual regatta at that place, were sailed June 17, Bunker Hill 

 Day. Wind fresh from N. W. and at times puffy. Five 

 classes with courses as follows ; 



For the first, second and third classes— Distance, 8 miles ; 

 from stakeboat off Skinner's head, leaving Half-way Rock on 

 starboard, thence to a stakeboat, thence to Marblehead Bock, 

 back to starting point. For fourth and special classes— Dis- 

 tance, 5 miles ; from stakeboat off Skinner's Head, leaving 

 Gray's Bock on port, Coney Island on port, stakeboat off 

 Bedford's on port, Gray's Rock on starboard, back to start- 

 ing point. 



After a false start, Ihe large licet of 72 yachts got away. 

 There had been entries to the number of nearly 150 ! Top- 

 sails had to come down outside and coamings were brought 

 awash. Breeze and Adrienne had a fine match together, re- 

 sulting finally in favor of the former by a very small margin. 

 The Unique, of the Jullanar type, attracted considerable at- 

 tention and stood up to her canvas much better than the rest 

 in spite of her narrow beam. Being under-sparred and not 

 having enough breeze for her kind, she failed to take the 

 prize, but showed fine sailing alongside the craft of the flat- 

 iron model. Uyda, a new boat by Keating of Marblehead, 

 did good work m beating Loiterer and landing first money. 

 We annex the result of the sailing, the list including only 

 those yachts whose times were taken, other entries haviDg 

 failed to start or not finishing, the official record being sadly 

 deficient in full particulars. Starlight and Bash started but 

 did not finish :

them. Lurline took a bad knock-down, Musette twisted off 

 her rudder, WM Flower ran down a boat, Adtlie Elmer's 

 crew were in "kingdom come," and what with a long list of 

 other casualties one may well conclude that the day was not 

 over-favorable to our pasteboard craft. The big 'Tarolinta 

 and Mr. Little's handsome schooner Brcudn were in harbor 

 during the racing. 



The forty-eighth regatta, and fifth of the season, was sailed 

 July 13. The match was one of a series for the champion 

 pennants of the club, to be sailed for in classes, but without 

 time allowance. Wind from E. — puffy. First class for 

 yachts 21 to 30ft. Course from judges' boat, leaving Spindle 

 Bock on port hand, a stakeboat or buoy anchored off the 

 southwest Breaker Buoy off Pig Rocks, on starboard hand : 

 Fog Buoy, off the Graves, on starboard hand ; Egg Bock on 

 starboard, and returning to judges' boat— distance, thirteen 

 miles. Two starters— Fanclhon, Arthur Bursress, length 25ft. 

 6in., and Waif, L. W. Clark, length 28ft. 7in. The latter 

 got some of her topsail gear adrift, ana Famehon won in 2h. 

 86m. 48s actual, and 2h, 31m. 13s, corrected lime, beating 

 Waif by 8m. 44s. Only one prize, which goes to Mr. Bur- 

 gess' sloop. Second class, for yachts 17ft. to 21ft. Course, 

 from judges' boat, leaving a stakeboat or buoy one and a half 

 miles cast, by south of Bug Rock on starboard hand ; leaving' 

 a stakeboat or buoy off Little Nahant on starboard hand, and 

 returning to judges' boat— distance, six miles. The starters 

 included some of the best sailers in the club, and Hoiden. for 

 the nonce turned tables and won handsomely from Com. 

 Grant's Fancy. The following is a summary :

The Idleb.— Since the advent of the schooner Idler upon 

 the Lakes, great interest has been excited to see the famous 

 New York schooner sail alongside the lake craft. Of course 

 in the minds of the natives she has already been beaten time 

 and again, but we might as well ciution the skippers of lum- 

 bering grain and iron ore schooners not to back their opinions 

 with cash, or their purses will be sadly depleted. The Idler 

 can sail around auy thing yet turned out from Western yards 

 in spite of the following news we have received from her. 

 Says a dispatch from Milwaukee— it is considered sufficiently 

 important, to teli graph such news out there : " The captains 

 of the schooners Wells Burt and American claim to have 

 beaten the yacht Idkr at the lower end of Lake Michigan, 

 working against a strong head wind." Now, wiih all due 

 deference to these worthy fresh-water tars we beg to disbelieve 

 any such thing. Then comes along another, this time couched 

 in, the more evasive term "it is reported" that the Hehtlia 

 had a brush with the Idkr on the way up Lake Michi- 

 gan, and outsailed her. We venture the assertion that Idkr can 

 sail two knots to every one of even such a noble specimen of 

 architecture as the redoubtable Hch-elin may be. Then again 

 some heroes of the lakes are said to be willing lo wager ducats 

 upon the sloop yacht Greyhound against the Idler. Now these 

 worthies should either leurn the difference between a small 

 sloop and a 200-ton schooner, and that a match between the 

 two under any circumstances would be a farce, or they should 

 clap a stopper on their jaw tackle. Our correspondent, how- 

 ever, sets matters light again when be discounts all this ex- 

 uberance on the part of the dug-out skippers, and says that 

 Chicago yachtsmen who know something about a bout are 

 delighted with Filer's appearance and speed. 



Sax Francisco Yacht Clcb. — Tickets of admission to 

 the club house at New Saucelito have been issued by the club, 

 and through the courtesy of the secretary we are enabled to 

 offer the privileges of the club house to friends bound for the 

 Golden Gate and desirous of inspecting one of the neatest and 

 most commodious club houses in America. The tickets bear 

 upon their face a well executed cut of the club house by 

 Capt. Moody, of San Francisco, and show in the ofidag a 

 yawl, catamaran and schooner with Bermuda mainsail, typi- 

 cal of the yachts of the club. 



Glotjcebtbb Regatta.— In the open races, sailed July 4, 

 the following yachts started: Ida B<H, J. Bearse ; Bonny, 

 S- James ; S. X. , A. Bobbs ; Sassoeus, B. Griffin ; Idle 

 Hour, E. Tucker; Em, H. Wheeler: Mary, J. B. Lloyd ; 

 Huttic G , F. Gaffhey ; Moses Rust, K. Kennedy ; Zephyr, 

 P. Stanwood; Dash, D. Stan wood; Alia-. A. Wheeler \ Ad- 

 vance, H. Smith. Won by Ida Bell in 2b. 18m. 41s., with 

 Bonny second in 2h. 21m 40s., and S. X. third in 2h. 33m. 

 18s. These three yachts take prizes. 



The Ida. — This is the name of a tioy little craft hailing 

 from Baltimore, and in charge of Capt. Cbas. Haflcke. She 

 arrived at Gowanus on the 1st inst., afier a prolonged cruise 

 in the Soutli of one yetu's duration. The captain iuforms us 

 that he never wants to go to sea in a finer, abler boat than this 

 little specimen. She is a sample uf what depta and draft will 

 do toward making even the smallest yacht a seaworthy and 

 reliable cruiser. The Ida is only 18ft. long, about the size of 

 a small cat-boat, has 64ft. beam and 44 ft, depth, with a draft
